We journey from the interesting to the banal. Apparently, for the relapse of mental rigor and structural integrity, we perpetually fail to cross the Abyss of understanding. All of this, mankind-in-extinct proximity, gives hope to AGI.
How hard could it ultimately be to simulate such a profane consciousness? That is why my hypothesis steers clear from using man as the baseline for the development of provable AGI functionality. Attaining a global, average IQ rating of 18 really is not much of a match for quantum, computing power. Such is my version of consciousness. ________________________________ From: Stefan Reich via AGI <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, 20 September 2018 6:39 PM To: AGI Subject: Re: [agi] Honestly?

I have posted on the past that I STRONGLY suspect that what we perceive as consciousness isn't anything at all like what is really happening. Specifically, a massively parallel process comes to a decision, but all we perceive is the single tiny thread that succeeded in intersecting with one possible solution, while the remaining 99.9999% of the process, along with other potential solutions, remains completely invisible to us. > and/or > This experience (whatever you want to call it) can therefore occur in > a computer program? So, armed with this grossly oversimplified perception, people attempt to write programs to do the same things with 0.0001% of what is needed to do the job. Lotsa luck. Are we on the same page here?
